Fodor's Expert Review The Lakefront Anchorage

4800 Spenard Rd., Anchorage, Alaska, 99517, USA

Perched on the shore of Lake Spenard, this Anchorage favorite is one of the city's best spots to watch planes come and go from the hotel's private dock. The lobby resembles a hunting lodge with its stone fireplace, trophy heads, and mounted fish on every wall. The luxurious guest rooms continue the inviting Alaska theme. The Flying Machine Restaurant—one of two on-site dining options—frequently offers live music on the lakefront patio in the evening.

PROS

  • shuttles available to airport and downtown
  • old Alaska hunting-lodge feel
  • pet-friendly (it's even home to the Iditarod mushers each February)

CONS

  • noise from airplanes on Lake Hood
  • distant from Downtown attractions
  • no complimentary breakfast
